  1. C-TIP Evaluation Results and Lessons Learned Talking Freight 18 January 2012 Roger Schiller

  2. Evaluation Methodology • Real Time Traffic Management and Dynamic Route Guidance in Kansas City • Actual vs. predicted travel time • Route compliance • Time savings vs. default route prediction • Intermodal Move Exchange simulations in Kansas City and Chicago • Potential matched loads equal potential bobtail reduction • Empty miles eliminated and fuel saved • Drayage optimization tests in KC and Chicago • Bobtail reductions, fuel savings • Emissions reduction for all of the above • Delphi study to assess theoretical Chicago deployment

  3. Example of Vantage Performance Monitoring – Dynamic Route Guidance The redirections typically occurred 2 minutes after departure 19 trips recorded on this route during the test, 6 of which were redirected Average projected time from the point of redirect was 23 minutes Drivers saved 7 minutes on average by following the redirect Drivers followed the redirections 83% of the time Average variance between projected and actual time was 4 minutes Projected time was within 10% of actual time 67% of the time

  4. Overall Results * Results assume 3-hour delivery window ** IMEX: Intermodal Move Exchange WDU: Wireless Drayage Updating RTTM: Real-Time Traffic Monitoring DRG: Dynamic Route Guidance

  5. Kansas City Drayage Optimization Test (IXT) Source: CS analysis of Profit Tools/IXT truck movement data. Note: All trips greater than 40 miles, outside of the Kansas City metropolitan area, or with no reported miles have been eliminated.

  6. Chicago Drayage Optimization Test (Pride Logistics) Source: Pride Logistics, LLC. Note: June through August is the baseline; September is the test period.

  7. RTTM and DRG Emissions Reduction Source: CS analysis of RTTM and DRG move records.

  8. Delphi Study • Iterative polling of subject matter experts • Dray trucking, intermodal rail, steamship lines • Asked to evaluate a theoretical Chicago deployment • General agreement that substantial benefits could be achieved • RTTM and DRG could save up to 10% travel time per trip on average • Bobtails might be reduced by 15% or more

  9. Conclusions and Lessons Learned • Successful proof-of-concept • Technology can address some of the negative impacts of cross-town freight • Congestion mitigation, emissions reduction, truck travel time savings • Operational constraints limited the Kansas City test • Railroads had limited participation • Industry may lack the collaborative mentality needed to make a cooperative dispatch platform work • Future work should leverage recent private sector advances in traveler information • E.g. smart phone-based dynamic routing
